Liberating Intimacy
Tantric Summer Retreat in Skeppsudden
An Initiatory Journey of Love
June 30 – July 6, Skeppsudden Retreat
With Aurora Georgijevic & Morgan Arundel – and a magnificent team
There is a longing within us — a yearning to feel life deeply, to dissolve the walls that keep us apart, to stand in the radiant openness of our own hearts. In a world that often rushes past the sacred moments of connection, intimacy becomes our portal back to presence, love, and the wonder of being alive.
Join us for an unforgettable week in the heart of the Swedish summer nature at beautiful Skeppsudden!
This retreat is a deep dive into Liberating Intimacy — not just intimacy with another, but with life itself. A space where ancient tantric wisdom meets the simple beauty of the present moment, unlocking the barriers within us that keep us from experiencing closeness, trust, and connection. We will explore how intimacy is woven into our nervous system, how it shapes our ability to feel safe and alive, and how, by unblocking what holds us back, we can open to love in its purest, most transformative form – a portal to spiritual presence
We will journey together through guided practices, heart-opening rituals, deep self-inquiry, yoga, meditation and joyful celebrations of connection. The retreat will integrate inspired tantric artistic moments, where we will rediscover intimacy as a state of presence — an openness to life, to love, and to each other.
This retreat is an invitation for coming home to the natural flow of connection — where we meet not only with our minds but with our hearts, our breath, and the very essence of who we are. The place we all long to be in.

The Transforming Spiritual Power of Intimacy
In the ancient tantric traditions, intimacy is not merely about closeness with another; it is a profound gateway to the sacred dimensions. When we open ourselves to deep connection, we allow the sacred energy of life to flow freely through us.
Through presence, active self awareness, radical self-responsibility, vulnerability, and heartfelt connection, we cultivate a deeper awareness of our true nature. We learn to discover our patterns that limit our ability for intimacy, and learning how to move beyond them. This retreat will guide you in exploring the spiritual dimension of intimacy, revealing how it can become a powerful tool for personal transformation, healing, and inner liberation.

The Virtues of Intimacy – The Beauty of the Heart
True intimacy is deeply related to how we show up for one another. It is built upon the foundation of inner virtues: sincerity, kindness, courage, patience, forgiveness and the willingness to truly see and be seen.
In ancient tantric wisdom, moral beauty—the radiant qualities of a cultivated heart—was considered essential for deep connection. When we embody love, integrity, and generosity, we become more open, more trustworthy, and more attuned to the sacred nature of our relationships.
There is something deeply fulfilling and nourishing with activley cultivating virtues, something that becomes more and more rare in todays world.
Tantra is a science based on actively practicing virtues, as a way to bring meaning and fulfillment in life
By nurturing these inner qualities, we create a space where intimacy can thrive—not just with others, but with life itself. Through compassionate presence, deep listening, and a heart unburdened by fear, we allow intimacy to move beyond fleeting moments and into something truly transformative, an integral part of life
Intimacy is not just something we seek; it is something we become.

Why Intimacy Matters Now More Than Ever
In a world that feels increasingly fragmented, intimacy is a radical act of presence. Beyond romance, beyond physical closeness, intimacy is what allows us to truly see and be seen. It is the antidote to isolation, a bridge back to ourselves and each other.
Many of us have been conditioned to fear deep connection—to guard our hearts, to hold back, to be “independent.” But true independence is not isolation; it is the freedom to connect fully, without fear. When we open to intimacy, we open to life itself.
During this retreat, we will explore:
– What intimacy is and why it is crucial to be actively cultivated
– How intimacy and the nervous system are intertwined—learning how to create safety within ourselves so we can relax into connection.
– What blocks us from intimacy and how to dissolve old fears, patterns, and conditioning that keep us from fully opening.
– The spiritual dimension of sacred intimacy, where connection becomes a portal to higher consciousness, elevated trance, transcendence and spiritual awakening
– How to cultivate intimacy in everyday life, not just in relationships, but in how we meet the world—with wonder, depth, and presence.
– How art becomes a tool to elevate our consciousness towards intimate openness – and was since ancient time interwoven in ritualistic practices
– How intimacy opens the consciousness towards spiritual experiences.
– How our practice towards greater intimacy becomes our most precious gift to the world – an act of responsibility and maturity of the soul

The Spirit of Togetherness
During these retreats intimacy is not something we simply strive for—it is something we remember. In laughter, in stillness, in movement, and in the sacred art of simply being together.
For many of our participants, these retreats have been life-changing, a place where something long asleep within them has awakened. A place where the heart remembers what it means to be fully alive.
The majority of people are returners, coming back year after year
And newcomers easily discover friendships and connections for life
If you feel called to step into a space of deep connection, if you long to experience intimacy as a gateway to presence, love, and transformation—then we welcome you.
Let’s journey together into the heart of intimacy. Into the heart of life itself.
